20 Photos of Bruce Springsteen's Boss Style

We dare you to try and think of a musician more American than Bruce Springsteen. Since the early '70s the Boss has been entertaining us from the Jersey shore—the cool one—and beyond. We've watched with affection, and sartorial admiration, as he went from a skinny tank-top wearing kid to the king of all biceps. Remarkably, over a nearly 40-year period, Springsteen's style never really faltered. Even through the '80s, he stuck to simple classics—jeans, a shirt, and the occasional statement leather piece. So, on his 66th birthday, out of national pride we suggest you check out these 20 photos of the Boss looking totally boss.
